Release it out in the woods somewhere a few miles from where you live.

Yep, and they're MEAN!!!! Be careful, one of those things bit the finger off of a our garbage man last year :shocked:

So using them in place of a gerbil is out of the question?

I'm taking him to the same park that I took the infamous squirrel to. Hopefully he'll fair better.

Yeah, he'll move slow enough that you'll be able to make it to your car and run him down yourself!

Make sure that he is let out VERY far away from a road. Have we learned from our mistakes?

GREATEST VIDEO EVAR!

I let that squirrel out of the cage a good 100 yards away from the road. He ran towards the road instead of the woods. That was on him.
